Captain
Keith Blakely

Member since March 2020 Lorain, United States
Background
Captain Keith grew up fishing both Bass and Walleye tournaments on Lake Erie and many other lakes across the United States. To put it simply, he's caught enough fish to last a lifetime, but the smiles he sees on others' faces after catching Walleye far outweigh the thrill of chasing the tournament scene. Although he may still fish a tournament from time to time, he'd much rather take someone out fishing for their first Walleye or Perch – especially kids – and see their reaction as they reel it in and finally get their hands on one. There's nothing like it, in his opinion, and he hopes that Lake Erie will continue to bless him with this opportunity.
